He is also charming and generous, unhesitatingly contributing the better part of his fortune to pay off a friend's debts, kindly assuming responsibility for the friend's orphaned daughter, lovely Tristana. Don Lope takes her into his house and before long he takes her to bed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's an arrangement that Tristana accepts more or less unquestioningly-- that is, until she meets the handsome young painter Horacio. Then she actively rebels, sets out to educate herself, reveals tremendous talents, and soon surpasses her lover in her open defiance of convention. One thing is for sure: Tristana will be her own woman. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd when it counts Don Lope will be there for her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBenito Pérez Galdós, one of the most sophisticated and delightful of the great European novelists, was a clear-eyed, compassionate, and not-a-little amused observer of the confusions, delusions, misrepresentations, and perversions of the mind and heart. He is the unsurpassed chronicler of the reality show called real life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benito Perez Galdos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590177657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590177655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/19\/2014","brand":"Benito Perez Galdos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906831765759,"sku":"9781590177655","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_abee4b01-9291-40f4-92a8-1ca39e77e870.jpg?v=1748771531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tristana-benito-perez-galdos-9781590177655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
